5656 Balaclava: Elegance without pretense

It’s where Kerrisdale, Southlands, and Dunbar connect: A much-loved neighbourhood where people are friendly, cherry blossoms decorate the spring streetscapes, and a village-style vibe permeates life.

Introducing 5656 Balaclava, a five-storey collection of 79 sophisticated, concrete condominium residences that create a perfect complement to the mature, leafy green setting. A combination of white and grey exterior, and dramatically cascading terracotta detailing give an iconic look that’s unique in the area—one that honours the past yet is distinctly 21st century.

A celebration of good taste

Whether you choose a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or family-friendly three-bedroom, these spacious homes are curated to satisfy the most discerning homebuyer.

Kitchens, always the heart of a home, feature imported Italian cabinetry by Cellini paired with the sleek, contemporary look of quartz counters and full-slab porcelain backsplashes. The full suite of premium Miele appliances, including a convection oven, five-burner gas cooktop, and under-counter wine fridge that are part of every home, is sure to bring out your inner chef.

Soothing and serene, bathrooms incorporate a plethora of thoughtful details: Elegant soaker tubs, hand-tiled, zero-threshold showers with linear drains and frameless glass doors, plus oversized porcelain tile flooring all tied together with Italian vanity cabinetry. It all adds up to a tranquil, resort-inspired ambience where the cares of the world simply melt away.
And here’s a bonus seldom found in condominium living. Most homes include a full-sized laundry room with recycling centre enclosed in custom millwork to match cabinetry used throughout the rest of the home. No more cramming your washer/dryer into a closet. At 5656 Balaclava, you’ve got the space you deserve.

Get social

In keeping with Kerrisdale’s outgoing, social character, 5656 Balaclava includes an expansive rooftop terrace and gathering space, the perfect place to catch up with friends and neighbours while enjoying unobstructed views over the lush green surroundings and a backdrop of the Gulf Islands. Green thumbs and their guests are sure to enjoy the community garden spaces for bringing fresh produce and herbs directly from ground to dining table.

For active living, there’s a fitness centre with dedicated yoga space, a sauna for unwinding after a workout, as well as a well-appointed bike repair room to keep your favourite two-wheeler in top shape. And for your four-footed family members who love getting out in any weather, there’s an indoor dog wash station so mud and muck get left behind.

Rare opportunity

Need one more incentive? Be sure to ask how you can earn seven per cent interest on your deposit until completion—that’s the equivalent of $57/day. But hurry, because this special offer is only available on the next three homes sold, so every day you delay means you’re losing out.

The 5656 Balaclava presentation centre and furnished, two-bedroom display home at 3130 Arbutus Street in Vancouver are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays. Parking available on West 15th Avenue. Visit 5656balaclava.ca or call 604.566.6606 for more information.
